You’re Not Failing—You’re Becoming


Some seasons in life feel like silence. Like standing still while the world keeps spinning without you. But what if the wait isn’t a delay—what if it’s a shaping? A quiet preparation for the very thing your heart longs for? This piece is for anyone who’s ever wondered if their steps still matter when progress seems invisible.

We live in a world that celebrates speed. Instant results. Quick wins. Overnight success. But the truth is, the most beautiful things in life—growth, healing, dreams coming true—take time. And waiting? It’s not a punishment. It’s preparation.

Waiting doesn't mean you're doing nothing. It means you're planting seeds. It means you're becoming. And sometimes, it means you're building the strength you'll need for the very thing you're praying for.

There will be days when it feels like nothing is moving. Like everyone else is getting ahead while you're stuck in the same place. You'll question your pace. Your choices. Your worth. You’ll wonder if it's even worth continuing.

But here’s the thing: as long as you keep going, you’re not failing. Pausing to breathe is okay. Taking a break to rest is necessary. But never mistake rest for quitting.

Every step forward, no matter how small, still counts.

Every tear you’ve cried, every late-night doubt, every time you chose to try again when giving up felt easier—that’s part of your becoming. That’s your story in the making. And when the moment finally arrives—when the dream is within reach—you’ll look back and realize none of it was wasted. It was all worth it.

Faith is not just believing in the outcome. It's believing even when the outcome hasn’t shown up yet. It’s trusting that the wait has a purpose. That the timing is divine. That your journey is unfolding exactly as it should.

So if you're in a season of waiting right now, take heart. You’re not behind. You’re not forgotten. You’re being shaped for something greater.

Keep walking. Keep hoping. Keep the faith.

Because one day, you’ll get there—and you’ll be so proud you never stopped.

So if you’re tired, pause. If you’re overwhelmed, rest. But please—don’t stop. Your pace doesn’t disqualify you. Your doubts don’t define you. You are not failing. You’re becoming. And one day soon, you’ll see exactly why the wait was worth it. Believe me, it's possible.




au revoir. 😊

Here In Batangas

So for today's blog, I have here a list of some Batangan words that you've probably heard someone say but had not even the slightest clue what that word meant. These are just some of the most common words widely spoken here in Batangas. And as far as I can, I'll try to explain them to you so that the next time you hear them, you won't wonder what they just said exactly.  Aba nga naman-  This is an expression that means absolute amazement. You couldn't believe someone did such an amazing job. Or you couldn't believe that something beautiful came out of nothing. We don't say, "Good job." Instead, here in Batangas we say, "Aba nga naman."  Aba'y awan-  Here in Batangas, we don't say, "Hindi ko alam. / Malay ko." Instead, we say, 'Aba'y awan. Hindi ko alaman." ala-  This word implies disapproval. When someone says something and we don't agree, we don't say, "Hindi. Mali ka diyan. / Ayoko niyan....

Cast:  Kim Yoo-jung Byeon Woo-seok Roh Yoon-seo Park Jung-woo Release dates: October 6, 2022  Director: Bang Woo-ri 20th Century Girl is a Korean film about love and friendship. This is the second Korean movie that I watched and I'm glad that it didn't disappoint me. The main characters of the film are high-schoolers. But no matter what age bracket you are in, I guarantee that you're gonna love this movie.  Na Bo-ra (Kim Yoo-jung) and Kim Yeon-du (Roh Yoon-seo) are best friends. But due to a heart condition, Yeon-du needs to fly to New York to have a surgery. Before she left Korea, she met a guy who she instantly liked. She asked her best friend to keep tabs on him. Na Bo-ra haven't met the guy, yet. Yeon-du only gave her his name, or at least what she presumed his name was, that she saw on his jacket that he's wearing when she saw him. They go to the same school, so Na Bo-ra easily found him. Again, with only his name patched on his jacket. She update her best frie...

Just How Fast The Night Changes

Recently, I just realized that I'm not getting any younger. I realized it while I was watching an online mass. The priest said that we are all going to die. It's just a matter of time. The life span of a person in average is 70 years old. And I just turned 32. So if God permits that I'll reach the age of 70, I only have 38 years left. But I doubt I'll reach that age. Cause my lifestyle isn't ideal to reach that kind of age. I sleep late. I wake up late. I don't eat vegetables. I don't exercise. Anyway,  suddenly I asked myself why I waste so much time of my 20's worrying about my future. And my future is already happening. I am living in the present, but 5 years ago this was the future that I was worrying about. I was always in a rush to figure things out without realizing that life is passing. It occurred to me how I wasted my time being disappointed with a lot of things. I made a mistake of not living in the present. I spent my time waiting. With what?...
